Edited by: BrysonBennington on 03/02/2011 10:46:06 Why does WoW have fancy mice designed around their game use and EvE Online does not.
Why does CCP not offer a programmable mouse that can be used to locked onto a target with a mouse click or to open a cargo can with another function?
Quite deplorable if you ask me.

Because EvE has players who can configure a programable gaming mouse

Because EvE players generally have something that WoW players don't. A Brain.

Because Eve players prefer to use good mice, and arent conned into buying terrible input devices just because they have a wow logo on them.
This thread now compares your mice to your wow-playing friends mice.
I use a R.A.T.7 as my main mouse and a G9 as my laptop mouse.
My wow playing friend uses a razer naga and the hp trackpad(urgh!), respectively. The Adelaide meet, be there! |

Is it wrong that I use a standard two button + scroll wheel mouse and a regular 110 key keyboard to play Eve?
Does it help at all that my mouse is red? --Vel

Why do so many people bring up WOW, this isn't WOW, this isn't made by the same guys that made WOW. If you like wow so much, go play it.

Totaly different gaming concept. to have 'do all' mouse in eve would require more buttons then is on your keyboard...Eve is more complex and therefore requires a smarter player....I'll try to explain so you meger WoW players can understand.
What you would hear, if you where listening in on vent or TS:
PVP Planning in WoW: "Hey guys, lets meet in Ulduar and form a group to go raid someone."
PVP Planning in Eve: "Intel reports that the enemy is using heavy shield tanking fleet. Drakes, load your EM HAMS, the amarr pilots will lead the strike, logi make sure you fit heavy armor reps. Is the cyno jammer down yet, can we jump in our carriers? Fleet support get on that outbound gate and throw up a bubble, I wanna try to catch them as they run, be perpared to warp in to assist where needed. SB's stay cloaked until...WHAT...no I'm busy Mom...i'm on teamspeak....I'll take out the trash later."..." Dread pilots standby, after the fight we're jumping you in to knock out a POS"
get the point?

LetÆs look at this from a business stand point not a ****ing contest. The ôactiveö player base in WoW is much larger then that of EvE online, you can not compare the two games on any feature other then they are both a pay to play. From a marketing and IP standpoint eve is a great game but its complex key binds and lack disposable player base do not warrant a company contracting with CCP to make a mouse specifically for EvE, the market share is simply just not there. You market moguls in eve would not waste your valuable time and resources creating a product that will not be purchased, and net a sizable return, and that is the bottom line.

Well, we do have Alienware keyboards that light up different colours when we're warp scrammed.
Why not have a mouse that lights up different colours when we're playing different characters ingame? Because after all, the game is all about the shinies. Isn't it?

Seriously though, with 300k accounts, what size do you expect the market for this to be?

Reason why Eve doesn't have a crappy mouse like that is because Eve isn't as profit driven as Blizzard is. Sure, CCP wants profits, any well functioning company does, but if they were worried about making tons of money just because they can, they would charge for their expansions and so on. Plus, I believe CCP could do these products if they elected to and be as successful with it, they just elect not to.

You forgot the part that everyone has to watch the videos on how to do the raid if they already haven't done it.
Very important.

This.
TLDR : The size of the EVE playerbase is much smaller than the size of world of warcraft playerbase.

Edited by: Zephris on 04/02/2011 18:04:08 Edited by: Zephris on 04/02/2011 18:02:41 TBH, a eve ship will not have more than six distinct type of active model by any reasonable estimate. Wow combat is a more complex as far as player interaction is concerned.
Could some of you play the game before you bash it. And what sort of "feature" or "idea" is this thread discussing exactly ?

Isn't PVP "Planning" in eve sitting on top of a gate/station for six hours ?

QFT, but there are some very dedicated eve players with many accounts. the question is if there are enough of them for a mouse to be profitable.

No, that is just a fail gate camp. There may be a couple other types of PVP combat besides gate camping...

Back on topic. Good show. I don't think there would be enough interest for a mouse. Also, it's not needed. The lag monster obsoletes quicker clicking _____________________________________ Real men corpse tank. |
